I discovered (think so) a new strategy for kronos. This strat. is very simple to preform, but might be a nice defense. I am sure this wont turn the tide of a battle, but it can help when the enemy is attacking your fishing ships.

Requirements:
AomT
being kronos

Once you reach classical age, build a dock (if you dont have one all ready, do not build it where you want it) and train a couple of cherios.

Move your cherios to the water. Make sure that one is almost completley covered by the water, and the other is very close to it.

Now click on your dock and click the timeshift icon. Then t/s your dock ontop of your cherios. Make sure that you t/s the dock exactly ontop of them, if not the cherios. can walk away from the dock.

Now that you have it done, start fishing!
If your enemy starts attacking, garrison you boats to the dock, (for additional strength) the dock and cherios will shot at your enemies.

I havent tried this with any unit but cherios. I believe they might be best because their bonus vrs ships.

Well I hope this strat helps, enjoy with it! By the way, this is my first strat giude, so can you please tell me how it is.

ahh another bug. If it works with other buildings this could be bad.

That's incredibly creative. I hadn't even though of trying something like that. I tried timeshifting units INSIDE a building, like in the Titans campaigns where you have to timeshift to get across mountains and stuff, and gave up on doing interesting things with units when it didn't work. Good job.

no it only works with docks because the units supposed to be under the wooden part, not literary inside the building

Well at least that could mean another patch if SuperTroopers read this.

Hell, we can't leave the Version Number at an odd number like 1.03 now can we? And it wont be needed for AOM either, just Titans...

Yeah, pretty cool. I did the same thing to protect obscure buildings farn away, like markets.

hmm i play vanilla and the shooting docks things must suck so much

1. pain in the ass for sea rushers (im not one myself)

2. build them along the saefront to help your soldiers in battles (forts)

3.hard to take down

Nah they only shoot at millitary ships. Don't shoot fishing boats. Don't shoot land units. And i think they don't even shoot sea myth creatures?

(i had a scylla attack my dock today and damn thing wouldn't shoot it)

NB - rape a few arrow ships here and there tho. Its why you wait until heroic and get siege ships.

Can you hit the cheiros under the dock? If not, then this needs to be fixed

It works with any units under the dock. But the units are stuck there once they are there. Also they dont get any protection from the dock... at least not protection from ranged units. so whats the use
